TrekMovie.com/EPIX Star Trek Trivia Contest

To celebrate the 2 year anniversary of Star Trek, TrekMovie and Epix have partnered up for a special trivia contest. EPIX is the television and online premium entertainment service from studios Paramount, MGM and Lionsgate, and the sole home of Star Trek on pay TV.

Each day over the next week (Monday May 9th – Friday May 13th) TrekMovie will be posting a trivia question related to the 2009 Star Trek movie via Twitter. To get a chance to win, follow @TrekMovie and @EpixHD on Twitter and reply back with the correct answer to the question posted. Winners will be selected randomly from the correct replies sent back to @TrekMovie and @EpixHD within 30 minutes. Each day’s winner will receive a Star Trek DVD and a 1-month free trial of EPIX online, which includes access to 3,000 movies, music and comedy specials. Questions will get harder over the week and on Friday the winner will get an additional bonus prize of a theater-sized Star Trek poster.

NOTE: Prizes being provided by EPIX. Contest open to residents of USA and Canada only.

I’ll pass to, poster doesn’t interest me, I have Netflix and I own the blu ray.

That being said, two things that are a big negative here with this contest:

1) Why twitter? I know its the “in” thing among the young people, but its not like Facebook. There’s lots of people, many people I know myself included who HATES Twitter and refuses to use it, yet society still tries to force it on us through stuff like this if we want to enter contests. I’m sorry, but I’ll never use Twitter and I know many who feel the same way.

2) Why DVD? I realize DVD’s are dirt cheap these days, but blu ray is becoming more popular every day. I know more and more people who are buying it, yet every contest that involves movie/tv show giveaways gives away dvd’s. Why not at least give us an option? If I own a blu ray player, I’m not going to want a DVD. Especially of Star Trek, which is actually the movie that convinced me to want to invest in blu ray two years ago.
